A Christian student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto, identified as Deborah, was on Thursday beaten and burnt to death for speaking “against” Prophet Muhammad.

Persecondnews gathered that following threat to her safety after being accused of making “unflattering comments about Prophet Mohammed” on campus, she was immediately evacuated to the security post of the school.

The mob was reported to have dragged her from the security post, beaten her with sticks before setting her ablaze in the school premises.

Reacting, the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, ordered that the school be shut and directed the Ministry of Higher Education and relevant security agencies to investigate the matter.
